This Venezuelan chocolate shop offers a range of drinks, arepas, truffles, fondues and, most importantly, chocolate caliente that reflects a tried-and-tested home recipe originally developed in 1916. Read more

Awesome little place in Pasadena. I love the Spanish chorizo sandwich and the churros. A must try.

They specialize in Venezuelan food. The arepas are good. The black beans are hearty and delicious. The churros come with a thick, dark and rich chocolate drink. Only metered street parking.

Their chocolate blend is reflected in their hot sipping chocolate menu, featuring six different creations highlighting a juxtaposition of worldly spices and rich dark cocoa. Read more

I like the churros. A bit pricey but still quite enjoyable. I tried the guava and it's a bit strange at first but gets better as I eat it.

Ask for the tequeños. They are incredible! Crispy sweet dough on the outside, soft salty cheese on the inside.

Amara is the best! Order any coffee drink with their cacao in it, and the scones are to die for!
